No, be flexible, or you might end up dropping your boycott entirely. Like a diet, you can't be too easy-going, but if you are too hard, then one day of failure might lead you to drop it because you've messed it up anyway.

I try to boycott woke companies as much as possible, but I don't when it's hard. So I do boycott Gillette, but not Coca Cola.

Am I a hypocrite? Maybe. But so what if I am? This world is dominated by hypocrites, it certainly isn't harming them. Winning is more important than petty egotism.

I boycott Gillette, Disney, Netflix, Coca Cola but not Games Workshop. I guess we all have some level of hypocrisy

I do boycott some of those as well and I do not use Mozilla, didn't even know they were woke it was running like crap for to long. I had a guy in a call making fun of me for using Edge, I told him Edge has more users then Mozilla and Mozilla sucks.

Principles are more important than winning. Would you kill all children on Earth if it'd let you win?

That would be a Pyrrhic victory. But no.

And "don't give money to people who hate you" is a principle, but not as important as "don't kill all the children". Only the Sith deal in absolutes.

It would be a scorched earth tactic, but not a Pyrrhic one, as you wouldn't lose anything by it. In fact, you'd win..

"kill all the children" wasn't a principle, but a natural extension of you placing victory above principles.

You'd rule over ashes, which isn't exactly a victory.

And some principles are more important than others. To say that they are all equal is myopic.
